自人類出現以來，用來定義我們才華的一件事就是製造器物的能力，從原始科技或日當用品的碗缽和手斧，到高科技的超音速航空器、智慧型手機、火星探測車……
這些文物會說話，它們就是歷史與文明的鐵證，不僅訴說我們的祖先如何生活，也透露當時的信仰、思維和價值觀，例如古埃人的青銅貓咪木乃伊、美索布達米亞的珠寶、中國商朝的禮器……
從星盤、飛機、真空吸塵器到X光，DK出版社運用其招牌式排版風格，來呈現我們祖先留傳下來的非凡遺產，並以這種獨特的視角來洞見世界歷史──最終，本書將會改變你觀看周遭事物的方式。
Discover how humans created their world from the objects they left behind - from the US Constitution to the first iPhone - in DK's latest history book.
From the beginning of human history, the one thing that has defined us is our talent for making things, from basic technology and everyday objects, such as bowls and hand axes, to high-tech inventions, such as supersonic aircraft, smart devices, and Mars rovers.
Objects speak volumes about a civilization, telling us how our ancestors lived - as well as what they believed in and valued. A bronze cat mummy shows us how highly the ancient Egyptians valued their feline companions, while a mechanical tiger toy tells the story of rising tensions between an Indian sultan and European colonisers. With stunning, specially commissioned photography, Civilization shows you the objects that our ancestors treasured - from the jewellery worn by the Mesopotamians to the prized ritual vessels used by the people of the Shang dynasty - and gives you an insight into what gave each culture its own identity.
From astrolabes and aeroplanes to vacuum cleaners and X-rays, DK uses its hallmark visual style to weave the extraordinary legacy of our creativity into a unique view of world history that will change the way you see the objects all around us.
